Analysis
This market shows extreme asymmetry with a 1273.5% implied yield on the Yes side versus just 15.7% on the No side, suggesting significant tail-risk pricing for a low-probability event with 258 days to expiry. The zero 24-hour volume combined with $14,357 open interest and a tight 1¢ spread indicates illiquid positioning where the 10¢ price may not reflect active consensus. The high cliff risk index of 9 and recent price stability (9¢ to 10¢ over 7 days) suggest this is a "set and forget" position, with traders pricing in near-zero probability of formal US recognition of Palestine before end-2026 given current geopolitical conditions.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve based on the countries that officially recognize Palestine as a state by December 31, 2026, 11:59pm ET. An announcement of intentions will not suffice to resolve this market to "Yes." Only a government's formal recognition of the State of Palestine will count toward a “Yes” resolution for this market. The primary resolution source for this market will be official government information. However, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
